Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Monday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  ACUR    $1.020    71.33%    1,656,606    56.66%    1,255,374    42.94%    401,232      3,934   
  MCP     $1.780    19.91%    9,641,640    43.28%    8,326,609    37.38%    1,315,031    7,388   
  CBMX    $2.050    23.84%    1,488,273    50.39%    1,423,624    48.20%    64,649       315     
  UNXL    $5.150    52.82%    1,695,378    51.65%    1,549,319    47.20%    146,059      284     
  INFI    $4.780    21.20%    1,935,636    49.77%    1,924,562    49.48%    11,074       23      
  CLDX    $1.410    25.54%    5,033,508    51.20%    4,778,815    48.61%    254,693      1,806   
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and low price friction in their stocks. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows ACUR with a dollar gain Monday of $1.02000 and a Friction Factor of 3,934 shares. That means that it only took 3,934 more shares of buying than selling to move ACUR higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
